Fashion power house Valentino opened its new boutique at Marina Bay Sands on 13th of January 2016, with celebrities and top influencers gracing the event.
The 342 square meter boutique marks an important step in the development of Valentino’s worldwide retail network expansion and it continues the innovative store concept developed by Creative Directors, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, together with British architect David Chipperfield.
The store concept combines old and new in order to generate a kind of Palazzo atmosphere, steering away from a pure showroom and promoting a new retail architectural format in place of a more traditional retail boutique structure.
The design of the new store is consistent with all expressions of the Maison: to create an aesthetic that speaks to today’s public, preserving the traits and identity of the brand - kindness, grace and elegance. Heritage and style co-exist in the idea of a new future that is not nostalgic, but full of memories.
The architecture is designed to complement the pieces on display, making use of a range of discreetly opulent materials - grey terrazzo with carrara chippings, timber, marble, glass, thick leather, and soft carpets to focus attention on the collections and also evoke a sense of intimacy.
The Marina Bay Sands boutique features a 20 meter shop front with see-through windows and will carry women’s ready-to-wear, accessories and fragrances.The new global store concept creates a shared personal atmosphere while still maintaining the brand’s fundamental values of craftsmanship, romanticism and classical style.
